Common use of Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach Clause in Contracts

Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach. If the Covered Entity knows of a pattern of activity or practice of the Business Associate that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Business Associate’s obligations under the provisions of this Addendum or another arrangement and does not terminate this Contract under Section 6(a), then the Covered Entity must notify the Business Associate of the pattern of activity or practice. The Business Associate must then take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such violation, as applicable. If the Business Associate’s efforts to cure such breach or end such violation are unsuccessful, the Covered Entity must either (i) terminate this Agreement, if feasible or (ii) if termination of this Agreement is not feasible, the Covered Entity must report the Business Associate’s breach or violation to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
